BELOW IS PICTURES OF A WORK TABLE DESIGNED BY ROSS DAY

THE ABOVE TABLE IS VERSION NUMBER 2 - COME BY AND SEE VERSION 3 - WE DO NOT SELL THE TABLE - YOU CAN LOOK IT OVER

AND BUILD ONE FOR YOUR SELF.  IT IS A ROLL AROUND TABLE THAT TAKES UP VERY LITTLE SPACE WHEN FOLDED UP.  IT ALLOWS US OLDER

FOLKS WHO NO LONGER HANDLE A FULL SHEET OF PLYWOOD WITHOUT HELP, TO IN MANY CASES WORK BY OUR SELF.

VERSION 1 IS THE BRAIN CHILD OF ROSS DAY -  RICK AND I HAVE MADE SUGGESTIONS FOR CHANGES SUCH AS

GO ALL WOOD AS A LOT OF WOODWORKERS DO NOT HAVE WELDING AVAILABLE.  ALL THE METAL ITEMS CAN BE PURCHASED

FROM A LOCAL HARDWARE STORE - HINGES, CASTERS SCREWS AND BOLTS.
